Perineural Epinephrine for Brachial Plexus Block Increases the Incidence of Hypotension during Dexmedetomidine Infusion: A Single-Center, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Perineural Epinephrine for Brachial Plexus Block Increases the Incidence of Hypotension during Dexmedetomidine Infusion: A Single-Center, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Background: Sedation using dexmedetomidine is frequently associated with hypotension. In contrast, epinephrine, a commonly used adjunctive agent in regional anesthesia, is a potent vasopressor. We hypothesized that perineural epinephrine used in brachial plexus blockade may reduce hypotension during...
